Galway man wins €5,300 for €5 bet after frankly incredible bit of World Cup punting

Was there anybody else on earth who had both first goalscorers last night?

Was there anybody else on earth who had both first goalscorers last night?

We have a new punting hero and his name is Jason Finn from Galway. After studying the form Jason felt that both of yesterday’s World Cup games would be tight affairs that could be decided by set pieces. With that in mind he went for Mats Hummels to score first in the Germany France game and Thiago Silva to notch the opener in Brazil’s game with Colombia.

With the German priced at 40/1 and the Brazilian set at 25s, the double netted Jason a staggering €5,330 for his fiver stake. Oh yeah, and it was the last €5 he had in his account.

We asked Jason what he did last night after his big win and what he plans to do with his windfall. He told us that he kept things quiet last night but a holiday and a good week at the Galway Races was in his immediate future. If you have any tips for Galway Jason, don’t be a stranger.
